CALL FOR PAPERS

Subject and Purpose of the Workshop

We lately witness a tremendous development in the wireless sensor networking
(WSN), which make it possible to monitor, unobtrusively and for long periods

of time the physical environment and to collect the relevant data. For many
applications, the sensor networks cannot operate in complete isolation.
There
must be a way enabling a monitoring entity or some end-users to gain access
to the data produced by the sensor network, and even to interact with a
particular sensor mote to activate/deactivate it, read the sensed value
instantaneously, fix some inner parameters, make dynamic code loading into
the
mote, etc. By connecting the sensor network to an existing network
infrastructure such as a local-area network, a private intranet, mobile
smart networks,
and notably the global internet, gaining remote access to the sensor network
would be straightforward. However, many questions need answers, and many
challenges must be tackled before such interconnection become effective.
Suitability of IP standards must be investigated, as well as the connection
architecture. Is it more effective to use fixed gateways? Or is it better to
employ a dynamic ad hoc mode where all nodes (or several nodes)
cooperatively
and alternatively act as gateways. By openly connect a sensor network to
other networks new vulnerabilities will take place. An intruder would not
need
to gain physical access to the network anymore, but it might remotely launch
attacks. Security is thus a very important aspect that must be considered.
Routing, QoS, and interoperability are also important and challenging issues
in the new heterogeneous systems. This workshop is a forum for researchers,
academics, and industrials to debate the different issues related to the
interconnection of wireless sensor networks, and discuss relevant
theoretical
and practical solutions.

Topics

Topics of the workshop consist of all aspects related to the interconnection
and integration of WSN to other networks, including but not limited to:
- Interconnection architecture aspects

- Vulnerability, protection, and fault-tolerance of WSN
- Quality of Service (QoS) issues in WSN-based integrated networks
- Information processing
- Routing protocols for cross networks
- Network and transport layer protocols for cross networks
- Testeds for integrated networks
- Middlewares
- Integrated applications and services for cross networks
- Sensor tasking, control, and actuation
- Distributed query processing
- Detection, classification, estimation, tracking
- In-network processing and aggregation
- Distributed inference and fusion
- Connectivity & longevity
- Location and time services
- Integration of sensor networks and web-based services
